I'll trade Wilbur for Chicken Little

Because my tribe and I love to eat while watching the Biggest Loser (please refer to 'Lighten Up Fatty' 2/4/10 post) we threw together another magnificent meal! So good that I packed - well I should say my house guest packed it (who also happened to do most of the cooking too!) for my lunch this week. Just as good the next day I say.

This meal, which was even healthier than last week's meal is called Wasabi and Panko-Crusted Pork with Ginger Sauce, from one of my favorite cooking sites, Cooking Light.

Now, I love pork but the last time I pan-fried pork it kind of freaked me out and I ended up wasting a lot of food. So I suggested we substitute the pork for chicken. This is a fine example of making an executive decision that proved to be a succes. Everyone loved dinner this week. What more can I ask for - happy, tummy-filled friends while watching quality reality TV from the comfort of my family room? It's awesome!

Check out the photos and link to the recipe below. Enjoy and let me know if you choose Wilbur over Chicken Little. Sorry...I know this is kind of sick, especially since I am an animal lover, but I couldn't' help it. Man would PETA be pissed.

Lighten up fatty

Why is it that when people watch Biggest Loser they want to spend those two hours EATING as well? This has to say something about how truly twisted we are as human beings. I, along with several friends of mine, represent this food-gorging-Biggest Loser-watching-breed.

So in effort to support the whole weight loss thing that the show perpetuates, I decided to crack open one of my favorite cook books, Cooking Light. Instead of ordering in pizza or some heavy carb-fest dinner, we now are cooking delicious, healthy meals. This week, per suggestion of a very dear friend in good 'ole AZ, we made Green Chile-Chicken Casserole. I HIGHLY recommend you whip this up for next Tuesday. Therefore while watching, you can nosh on something not quite as bad as that cheesy baked pasta with a side of frozen Snickers you had last week.

I did opt for the side of frozen Snickers though, what can you do???
